Details

I had to really mess around with the white balance in these photos, but that's what I get for attempting to take them at night in the house.  Steve and I are going out of town for the weekend and hopefully I'll get something good to use from our get away to use as a mulligan ... until then, these are TOMS wedges that we gave to my little sister for her birthday on Thursday. (happy birthday kid, love you)

Hunger, Part II

While at the gym, I gave one of the kids a cookie for my attempt at another "hunger" photo.  I didn't even do anything to the saturation of this image, this half blond Oreo just really pops.

Even though he made it pretty clear that he wanted to just keep playing with the other kids instead of eating a cookie for me, he managed to show me just how photogenic he is because these are the other images I got while coaxing him to eat the cookie.  This is Matt ... he's pretty adorable.

Hunger

A few months ago I picked up the book The Hunger Games while looking for something to read on vacation and after reading the back decided that it could either be really good or really terrible, so I went with a different book.  About a week and a half ago my friend let me borrow the books (it's a trilogy), because I like to read a book before I see it's movie counterpart and the movie The Hunger Games comes out today.  I enjoy reading but was convinced that I didn't have much time to read and was just hoping to finish the first one before the movie came out.  Long story short, all the books are about 400 pages and I finished all three in about a week.  These books are amazingly written.  It made me feel much more like I was watching a movie than reading a book.  I would SO highly recommend them.  I am going to try another photo later tonight, but for now, here is the inspiration for this week's theme in it's most obvious form.

I am incredibly excited to see this movie this weekend, real or not real?  Real.

"Be Still" & "Eyes of March"

Two weeks ago, the theme was "be still" ... of course it was a week of only windy days so a lot of my ideas were out the window.  Then I was sick that weekend, so I didn't have much time to figure out a photo.  I eventually settled on the rope at my gym; completely still, just dangling and waiting for someone to climb it.

Last week's weeks theme was the "Eyes of March."  I wanted to take it a step into the abstract and decided to photograph the tree in my front yard.  It is just barely starting to bloom and I saw it as kind of the eyes of the month of March opening.  Kinda weird, but I like the photo just the same  =)  Hope you do too

A Great Leap

This is the owner of my gym, John, and a 42" box jump.  These are the types of things that qualify as great leaps in my life.
